He is twice in the Guinness World Records, most recently, for achieving the highest resolution microscope image ever recorded using electron ptychography. [3] His work spans theory, computation, and experimental physics research. He is also a Faculty member of the Center for Bright Beams. [4]
In 1998, working with Stephen Pennycook of ORNL, he recorded "the highest resolution microscope images ever made of crystal structures". [ 9 ] [ 10 ] Six years later, Nellist, Pennycook, and colleagues at ORNL produced the first images of atoms in a crystal on sub-Angstrom scales by using a new technique to correct the optical aberrations in a ...
It was the first book to include illustrations of insects and plants as seen through microscopes. Published in January 1665, the first major publication of the Royal Society, it became the first scientific best-seller, inspiring a wide public interest in the new science of microscopy. [1] The book originated the biological term cell.
James Hillier, OC (August 22, 1915 – January 15, 2007) was a Canadian-American scientist and inventor who designed and built, with Albert Prebus, the first successful high-resolution electron microscope in North America in 1938. [1]
By 1978, the first theoretical ideas had been developed to break the Abbe limit, which called for using a 4Pi microscope as a confocal laser-scanning fluorescence microscope where the light is focused from all sides to a common focus that is used to scan the object by 'point-by-point' excitation combined with 'point-by-point' detection.

By Keith Morrison Taking the phrase of "putting it under the microscope" quite literally, the Nikon Small World contest recently announced its winners for 2014. Now in its 40th year, the contest ...
The images, obtained in March 2023 by the ESA's Solar Orbiter, represent what the agency says are the highest-resolution views of the sun's surface, known as the photosphere, to date.
In the 1970s, Tonomura did pioneering work in the development of the electron holography microscope and observed lines of magnetic force for the first time in the world. Building on this, in 1986, he experimentally verified the Aharonov–Bohm effect , which had eluded definitive experimental proof for a long time.
